The Tragic Truth Of Prince Harry

Most people would agree that the teenage years are pretty important for a person's development. Whether you enjoy high school or not, the people you meet and the things you learn during these years can change you for life. 

However, for Prince Harry, having a normal school life was impossible. The royal went to the prodigious boarding school Eton starting at age 13; on his very first day, Prince Harry was followed around by the press as he met his teachers and toured the school, according to the BBC. Additionally, while Prince Harry had his own room, unlike the other students, he also had a full-time bodyguard who slept in the room next door.

In 2018, The Cut spoke to some of Prince Harry's fellow students at Eton. One recalled that while Prince William was integrated with the other students, Prince Harry tragically "had it harder finding his way." Another student explained that while everyone tried to make life as normal as possible for the young prince, it was often impossible, thanks to his bodyguards and the occasional visits from the Queen.
